Have No Backbone I tried to put on the show for you but no matter how good an actress is she cannot become her part I tried to show I loved you I tried to act as if I cared but I really didn’t give a damn not about you and so I hid it I hid my feelings suppressed my emotions and I acted like your daughter I feel nothing so I go through the motions and it hurts me to think that I really don’t have a family the flashbacks kill me and so I do my best to forget and to smile when I am told but I can only smile for so long when I really want to cry and I really want to leave but the thought of the curtain closing hurts me more than playing the part so don’t worry the role is still filled for as long as I do not have a backbone and as long as I do not have a family I will act Copyright Janet Kuypers.
